Though not considered a major corporate player due to its size, Z-IC has proven to be a constant problem for Saeder-Krupp in the chemical sector. Z-IC is based out of switzerland and has been rumored to be funded by another great Dragon. Though the rumors persist there has been no actual proof to these allegations. Z-IC continues to thrive, primarily due to the large number of breaktroughs the company has made in low cost manufacturing of goods.

While they generally maintain their main presence in a single country, A-rating designates a corporation as a Multinational. A-rated corporations are the smallest corporations allowed extraterritiality. , However, A-Level corporations do not automatically recieve extraterritoriality from the corporate council. Corporations at this level must earn their status through an achievement on a global scale. This achievement may be the development of new technology as in the case of Tan Tien's revelutionary nano-processor. The distiction can also come from a supportive plea by a larger MegaCorp such as Warpdrive systems who recieved it's extrateritoriality from a request made to the corporate council by Ares. What follows is a list of A-rated corporations:

How times have changed. Yamatetsu, the red-headed stepchild of the Japanese megacorps, has jumped into
the spotlight with the recent change in command (its new ork chairman) and the move of its world headquarters
from Japan to Vladivostok.

With the ascension of an ork to the top spot, the corporation is now seen as more meta-friendly
and magically aware than any Japanese corp has a right to be. Yamatetsu has been quick to capitalize on this new reputation, initiating a hiring blitz among metahumans in Seattle and changing its advertising to show the exotic and magical appeal of an “Awakened” corporation. This has caused no small amount of conflict with some of the company’s more traditionalist employees, setting off power struggles throughout the corporate infrastructure. Plenty of people in Yamatetsu are calling in their markers. It’ll be interesting to see how all this plays out … and potentially lucrative for shadowrunners, of course. In order to get its own house in order, Yamatetsu’s going to have to reorganize; some of the execs are forward-thinking enough to see the writing on the wall and are already preparing for the shift in management (and that’s where we come in, chummers).

>>>>>[Yamatetsu has no friends among the Japanacorps, so
look for Mary Luce to cultivate alliances with Wuxing and
Novatech, the new kids on the block.]<<<<<
